THE BEST OF BRANSON Harvest Festival featuring Craft Days & the new Pumpkin Nights, Sept. 25 – Oct. 26 Fall at Silver Dollar City is brand NEW this year…by day and night with the NEW Harvest Festival featuring Craft Days and NEW Pumpkin Nights. The festival starts September 25 and runs through October 26 (Wednesdays – Sundays) and was created with the concept of a full day AND night of fun for families in mind! The nighttime event, NEW to Silver Dollar City, will showcase thousands of lit pumpkins and carved masterpieces. Most prominent will be the iconic custom-designed pumpkin characters that will create must-see photo ops, some reaching from the ground to as high as four stories. These include the pumpkin greeter, pumpkin craftsmen, owls, spiders, bats, a cat and others. And, with master pumpkin carver Barry Brown on hand, guests can take home a carved "funkin" of their own or even have a pumpkin custom carved just for them. Plus, nightly black light dance parties, along with over 40 rides and attractions like Time Traveler—The World's Fastest, Steepest & Tallest Spinning Coaster, will keep the park glowing into extended hours of 9pm/10pm on Fridays & Saturdays. During the day, the NEW Cirque Eloize Lumberjacks Show (running through October 13) will entertain park-goers with a pulse-raising acrobatic musical production show created exclusively for Silver Dollar City by an internationally acclaimed French-Canadian troupe. Plus, guests can explore the NEW Makers' Market, a vintage mercantile atmosphere that rotates out new artisans throughout the festival in a showcase of timeless craft techniques like rug weaving and embroidery to trendy arts such as hand-painted family moniker signs, custom baby accessories and more. Food at the park also adopts a fall look and palette with pumpkin-flavored churros and ice cream, glow-in-the-dark beverages and classic fall favorites like caramel apples, cider and more.
